Notes:

Information from Mariana L Zuelsdorf:
Joseph Harman was enlisted by Capt. Stephens on October 16, 1861 at Camp Tupper, Hanibal, Ohio in to Company A, 77th regiment of the Ohio volunteer Infantry, for a period of three years or the length of the war. He was wounded by a gun shot wound to the left wrist at the Battle of Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh) on April 6, 1862. He was treated in hospital on the steamer War Eagle at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee from April 6, 1862 to April 7, 1862. On the 12 or 13 of April 1862, he was placed in the hospital at Evansville, Indiana for 2 days and then given a furlough. He left the hospital to go home for 30 days. His furlough was extended. Under orders, he reported at Columbus, Ohio on or about July 5, 1862 and immediately went into the hospital in the Columbus area, remaining there for treatments until August 8, 1862. He was examined at Camp Chase, Ohio and given an honorable discharge by A.B. Dod, Capt., 15th US Infantry. The degree of disability was 3/4. Joseph stated that for 14 months after he was wounded, he was unable to perform any manual labor.

When Joe Harman was 16 he and a friend owned a raft and they would, in the summer, fish and pole their way north to Wheeling where they'd sell the fish they had caught. On this particular day, they were catching no fish and decided that if they didn't catch anything all day they would go to war. As luck would have it, they caught nothing. So they went to Marietta, Ohio and enlisted (Union Army). After some training, they were shipped off to Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh), Tenn. They had been there 1-2? days when Gen. Grant rode in --he said "drunk"--and the next day they were deployed. They knew the Confederates were near because there were dogs around--and soon there were shots. On the first round Joe was shot through the left wrist and his friend said he'd take Joe back to the hospital ship. There was a fence and Joe made it over safely but the friend was shot through the head and fell face down in the mud with both rifles. In Columbus, Ohio where Joe was taken, the doctors informed him that they must remove his arm because he'd developed gangrene if they didn't. He refused the operation saying that he would rather be dead than lose his arm. So he was discharged from the Army and went home. An old German doctor in town said that he could save the arm. Every day the doctor took a new white silk handkerchief and pulled it through the hole until it healed.

Notes by Gerald Schori -

John Neuenschwander, son of Ulrich Neuenschwander, lived at the Easley farm across the river from New Martinsville, West Virginia, at Duffy on the very top of the hill. He met and married Civilla Harman, who lived in New Martinsville. Later, packing her and her square piano, he moved to Elgin, Iowa, where he was carriage and wagon maker. After Joseph Harman was injured at Shiloh, he went to Iowa to visit his sister Civilla, and met Mary Bauder who was living with her sister, Elizabeth and husband, Ben Schori. After Joseph returned to New Martinsville, he realized that he was smitten by Mary and wrote to his brother-in-law John, asking John to plight his troth on his behalf with Ben Schori regarding the possibility of marriage to Mary Bauder. Ben Schori discussed this with his wife, Elizabeth, who discussed it with sister Mary, and it was agreed. At this point, Joseph returned to Elgin where he and Mary were married at the home of her brother.

A letter from Mary Harman Ficken, granddaughter

It was to Elgin that Joe went to recuperate. Mose of my Swiss relatives live in Elgin, Iowa and surrounding towns. It still has a big sign at the town line saying "Little Switzerland". i can remember only one story of how Joe and his brother-in-law took a wagon and went hunting in Nebraska Territory and how they got lost and wandered for days until some friendly Indians told them how to get home. When Joe came back to New Martinsville, he said he'd met the prettiest little Dutch girl he'd ever seen. (anyone speaking German was called Dutch.) He went back to Iowa ( I don't know when) and married her. She was Mary Bauder and her parents came to the U.S. from Switzerland when she was about 9. Joe and Mary came back to New Martinsville and Joe began his life as a blacksmith and wagon maker. In later years, after cars were invented, Joe was invited to become the Ford agent in town, but he declined on grounds that a car would never be able to climb these hills. Ho-hum. When they unpacked Mary's luggage, they found a surprise gift--a wooden clock--which they had on a high shelf in the kitchen. During the 1913 flood it was forgotten and floated off the shelf. After the water went down it was found in the mud in the kitchen. It was washed out and continued to run. Mother and Dad took it after Grandma died and it was in our kitchen until they moved. I have it now on my living room wall. It will run if it is level.

Notes:

Information from Mariana L Zuelsdorf:
George A. Harman is County Court Clerk of Wetzel county, and was an active business man of New Martinsville before his accession to this public office. He is a member of a family that has supplied a number of most substantial citizens to the commercial life of Wetzel county.
He was born in Monroe County, Ohio January 25, 1873. His grandfather, Samuel Harman, was born in Pennsylvania in 1816, and on leaving his native state settled in Belmont County, then in Monroe County, Ohio, followed farming and eventually, on retiring from the farm, located at New Martinsville, West Virginia, where he died in1902, in advanced years. He was a democrat and a very devout member of the Christian Church. Samuel Harman married Mary Gates, who was of Scotch descent and who died in Monroe County, Ohio. Joseph S. Harman, father of George A., was born in Belmont County, Ohio, in 1844, but spent most of his early youth in Monroe county. In 1861 at the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the Seventy-seventh Ohio Infantry, and served until wounded at the battle of Shiloh, which incapacitated him for further military duty. After leaving the army he went out to Elgin, Iowa, where he married and where he learned the wagon making trade. Subsequently he returned to Monroe County and in 1873 settled at New Martinsville. He was an exceedingly skillful wagon maker, and in his shop at New Martinsville he made a number of strong and durable wagons that served a generation of users. Joseph S. Harman died in New Martinsville in 1912. (sic) He was a democrat, a member of the City Council several terms, and during the latter part of his life was chiefly identified with the Methodist Episcopal church. He married Mary Bauder, who was born near Bern, Switzerland, in 1853, and is now living at New Martinsville. Of her children George A. is the oldest; frank is deputy under his brother George; Charles owns a tailor shop at New Martinsville; Ross is in the plumbing business at New Martinsville; William is senior partner of J.W. Harmon, a clothing merchant at New Martinsville; Anna is the wife of Thomas G. Allen, assistant postmaster at New Martinsville, and two other sons, Julius and Clarence, who died in childhood.

GEORGE A HARMAN, COUNTY CLERK FOR QUARTER OF CENTURY, SUCCUMBS HERE
County's Most Widely Known Officer Taken after Long Illness
George A Harman, 72, County Clerk of Wetzel County since 1921 and one of the most popular men who ever held office in the Court House, died last Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock at his home at 747 Maple Avenue.
Mr. Harman had been in failing health for several years and in the past few weeks his condition had steadily grown worse.
He was a native of Monroe County, across the river in Ohio. He was a son of Joseph and Mary Bauder Harman. In His youth he followed the trade of blacksmith. On January 3 1900, he married Miss Amelia Stamm.
Once Mr. Harman got his "hand in" at running for office, he was unbeatable, and he made it that way by his untiring service to the public. He went out of his way to be more than a casual public servant and the voters knew it. It was nothing for him to leave his home after business hours and go to the court House in order to save some rural resident an extra trip to town. That, along with his cheerful personality was why the voters elected him county Clerk for the fifth time last November when his health would not even permit him to carry out a campaign. His campaigning had been spread out over more than two decades.
Politics was not the only field in which he was prominent and respected. He was outstanding in Masonic work, being a Past Master of Wetzel Lodge No. 39 A F & A Am. He was president of Doolin
federal Savings and Loan Association. He was a member of St. John's Methodist church.
Mr. Harman is survived by his wife; a son, Clarnece S Harman, New Martinsville; a sister, Mrs. Tom G Allen, Mew Martinsville; three brothers, J W Harman, Parkersburg; and Ross L Harman and C E Harman, both of New Martinsville, and two grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon by Rev.George W Tynyham, pastor of the McMechen Methodist church; Reg. J A Wright, pastor of St. John's Methodist Church, and Rev. W E Keenan, pastor of the First Methodist Church. Wetzel Lodge No. 39 A F & A M conducted rites at the grave. Burial was made in Williams Cemetery by Wharton Funeral Home.

George married Amalie STAMM on 03 Jan 1900 in New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia. Amalie (daughter of John STAMM and Mary ?) was born on 12 Jan 1875 in Tyler County, West Virginia; died on 14 May 1950 in New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia; was buried in Williams Cemetery, New Martinsville, Wetzel Co., West Virginia.

From written notes by Jay Harman, son of Francis Harman (September 1997)
Bill Harman, who would have been my great uncle (I think), liked to play penny-ante poker in the basement of the Elks Club in Parkersburg. One day he was in the middle of a game, had a heart attack, and fell over dead. After they took him away in the ambulance, the guys he was playing cards with turned over his hand--and he had aces and eights! Known as a "Dead Man's Hand".
My dad told me this story of one of our relatives that lived in New Martinsville, I think he would have been my great-great uncle. Anyway, he had a reputation around town as a carouser and one Saturday night, the local police arrested him for disorderly conduct and hauled him down to the Police Station where he was booked and allowed to make his one phone call. He called his cousin..........in Alaska!

Notes:

Information from Mariana L Zuelsdorf:
The children of New Martinsville used to collect bones, and when the bone boats would come down the Ohio from Wheeling, the children would take the bones down to the river where they would be weighted. In return for the bones, the children would receive chits, which could be used to buy items on board the boat. As a child, Anna Harman did this, and with her chits, bought two lead crystal cut glass bowls for her mother. These bowls were eventually given to Mary Martha Allen Harnbrok by Anna Harman Allen. We always referred to them as the "bone bowls." (Mariana Zuelsdorf has one of them now)

LIZZIE PRIEST
Lizzie, infant child of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Priest, aged four years, was accidentally but fatally scalded on last Tuesday morning by falling into a tub of hot water. Despite all that could be done, death alone could relieve the little sufferer. It died on Wednesday morning. The sorrowing parents have our deepest sympathies. (no date)

PRIEST
Mary Lizzie, little daughter of George W. and Caroline Priest, of New Martinsville, W. Virginia, aged 3 years, 7 months and 19 days.
The death of dear little Lizzie was very sad, for she was scalded by falling into a tub of water September 25, and lingered in great misery until the next day, when death relieved her. She was a very affectionate child, the joy and light of the home. It is hard to part with our children. Only those who have gone through that sad experience know the anguish of heart. Bro. and sister Priest are earnest disciples of Jesus, and they know they will meet the loved one in heaven. May God comfort them in their sorrow. - W.S. Priest

Obituary of Louis Bair Baker that was given to me by Beverly Mayhugh:

Veteran
Paper Mill
Worker Dies

Louis Bair Baker, 62, of Hemlock Street, Natrona Heights, an employee of the Tarentum Paper Mills for 30 years, died at his home at 11:30 Saturday night.
He was a resident of Natronia Heights for the past 14 years. During infancy he was adopted by Mrs. Homer Baker, of Hannibal, Ohio and took Baker as his last name. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Jan Lawther Harbison, of Fifth Avenue; a step-sister, Mrs. Emma Montgomery, of Third Avenue; a step-brother, Jacob Bair, of Sixth Avenue; three foster sisters, Mrs. Clara Furer, of Woodsfield, Ohio, Mrs. Margaret Steiner, of St. Clairsville, Ohio and Mrs. Georgia Henthorn, of Hannibal, Ohio; and four foster brothers, Homer Baker, of Natrona Height, Donal, of Rayland, Ohio, Sterling, of Warren, Ohio, and Oscar, of Sarver.
Friends are being received at Flick's funeral chapel, where services will be held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Burial will be in Mt. Airy Cemetery.

Attends Funeral of Brother, Lew Baker
Lafferty----Mrs. Margaret Steiner of Lafferty returned home Wednesday from attending the funeral of her brother, Lew Bare Baker of Tarentum, PA. The deceased was well known in Belmont and Harrison county district.
It was the third funeral in the family within the year. The first was Mrs. Steiner's husband, August, who was killed one year ago at the Crabapple mine near Fairpoint. Second was her father, Homer Baker of Cameron, who died in November.
Mr. Lew Baker died very suddenly of a heart aliment.

Note: I am lead to believe that Louis Bair/Bare Baker is the child of George Bair/Bare and Martha Harman. According to the obit., Louis had a sister, Jane Lawther/Harbison. Jane is the daughter of George and Martha. It could be possible since Martha died in 1882, George might of been unable to take care of an infant. Giving Louis to his sister, Margaret Jane Bare/Baker would make sense. Since I do not have any dates when Louis's obituary was written, I have to go by census records. According to the 1900 census, Louis was born October 1881. So I then add his age, 62, and have come up with the date 1944 for his death.

According to the Death certificate, Lewis was born October 20, 1871 and was 70 when he died. I am leaning towards the obituary as his correct age at death as being 62. The certificate does state that Lewis was the son of George Bair and Martha Harmon.
